Data-driven Loop Closure Detection in Bathymetric Point Clouds for Underwater SLAM

Jiarui Tan, Ignacio Torroba, Yiping Xie +1

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) frameworks for autonomous navigation rely on robust data association to identify loop closures for back-end trajectory optimization. In…

Neural Shape-from-Shading for Survey-Scale Self-Consistent Bathymetry from Sidescan

Nils Bore, John Folkesson

Sidescan sonar is a small and cost-effective sensing solution that can be easily mounted on most vessels. Historically, it has been used to produce high-definition images that expe…

High-Resolution Bathymetric Reconstruction From Sidescan Sonar With Deep Neural Networks

Yiping Xie, Nils Bore, John Folkesson

We propose a novel data-driven approach for high-resolution bathymetric reconstruction from sidescan. Sidescan sonar (SSS) intensities as a function of range do contain some inform…

Neural Network Normal Estimation and Bathymetry Reconstruction from Sidescan Sonar

Yiping Xie, Nils Bore, John Folkesson

Sidescan sonar intensity encodes information about the changes of surface normal of the seabed. However, other factors such as seabed geometry as well as its material composition a…
